      I was down at my nephew's house using his installation of wow and not a direct copy of mine which I understand shares a installtion number that Blizzard can identify. His house is about 3 hours away and he uses comcast while I am on my telephone corporation's information and unlike myself he does not bot on his account nor did I use my information whatsoever to send him any gold or anything gifted. Minus our sharing the same state and same last name I do not see how anything with my botted accounts could be involved with my nephew who I purposely made sure had no interaction with me what-so-ever.

      He is not guilded in the same guild as my bot toons nor as I said have I ever interacted with his characters with any of my accounts since we do not even play on the same server. He was asking me to try to activate his account while he was redownloading the game to check out the wow token system. I logged on my bosses account (no there was no change of ip ban that I know of) and went to his guild bank and took out 12k from his guild (since I have given him millions of gild throughout the years I knew he would not care) and meant to send it to my nephew via in game mail. Well I have never touched a starter account before and found out you cannot check your in game mail or use the in game mail as having part of the payment to purchase a wow token.

      So we just let it be and did not worry about it anymore and this morning my nephew tells me he received an email stating his account has been closed for exploitation of the economy. I believe the game system thought I was a chinese hacker or account thief that logged on my boss's account to steal gold and send it to my nephew. I am 100% sure this ban has nothing to do with my own behaviour and thought I would just share this accidential suspension tale with everyone here hoping it can help figure out some of the methods wow uses to ban accounts.

      If this already a common knowledge example then sorry for wasting your time and I am 100% confident we will get this overturned since it was an automated ban.
